“Love Thy Neighbors”
Neighbors are your closest friends
Share the air and the land
To become enemies is the normal trend
Where we went wrong we don’t understand
Selfishness, jealousy or intolerance
All these and others might lend a hand
To cause a dent which is hard to mend
Wage a war for the smallest spark
And feel the brunt for this stunt
Others far away may fuel the fight
To see the neighbors fall apart
And lick the gains from the fallout
Loss of life and property is not their concern
Never be a ladle in their hands
“Do unto others what you would like others to do unto you”
Follow this mantra to make your neighbor your bosom friend.
